Case Study: CRU achieves streamlined HR processes and global workforce visibility with Sage People

From spreadsheets to Sage CRU boosts efficiency and increases workforce visibility

CRU is a 260+ employee, independent market intelligence firm covering global metals, mining and fertiliser industries, with offices across the Americas, Europe, China, Asia and Australia. Growing internationally, CRU relied on multiple spreadsheets because their legacy HR system made reporting slow, error-prone and left them without visibility into workforce data or a way to target communications and engagement globally.

In 2017 CRU implemented Sage Business Cloud People, going live in 10 weeks and adopting self-service, centralized employee records, targeted internal communications and continuous feedback tools. The result was a single source of truth with accurate, easily reportable people data, faster HR processes, improved employee experience and engagement, and better management visibility — enabling CRU to scale more easily as it opens new offices.
